Crone
Partners has potentially eclipsed the height of 115 Bathurst Street with their
latest Master Plan Design and Planning Proposal for a 260m tall tower at 505
George Street, Sydney. Crone went through a process on 115 Bathurst Street,
successfully achieving a Stage 1 Development Application Approval for a 236m
tall tower named the Greenland Centre.
The current height controls at 505 George Street limit the
height of developments to 150m. Through an intense Design and Analytic process,
Crone were able to put forth a compelling argument to Sydney City Council of
the many benefits to the city of going taller and thinner. Mirvac and Coombes
Property Group have proven a formidable team collaborating with Crone and
Sydney City Council to promote innovative urban design solutions for their
iconic development at the Greater Union site. We hope for a favorable response
to our Planning Proposal over the next few weeks.
A hot topic in Property Circles is Sydney’s need for more
Skyscrapers to remain Australia’s Global City and to meet demands of an ever
increasing population. Champion of this cause is Chris Johnson CEO of Urban
Taskforce Australia helping to drive council into reviewing current height
controls and increasing the density of buildings in the city and at major
transport hubs.
